He broke off suddenly as he caught the sharp hail of the forward lookout. "Ship in distress off the port bow, sir," came the cry. Jack was at once called to the deck. Instantly Frank and Lieutenant Hetherton sprang to Jack's side. At almost the same moment the radio operator emerged from below on the run. "Message, sir," he exclaimed, and thrust a piece of paper in Jack's hand.
Take him away." These last words were addressed to Lieutenant Hetherton, who stepped forward and took the German commander by the arm. "Come on," he said somewhat roughly. The German commander was led below, where he was made secure. The passengers and crew rescued from the Hazelton dispersed and Jack held a consultation with his officers.
